Thanks mate Weasel!

The greatest batsman ever, Sir. Donald Bradman, hit his record-breaking score of 334 runs for an Australian batsmanin a single innings in the 1930 tour of England during theThird Test at Leeds.
Who held the record before he achieved this remarkable fete,and what was that score?

 

[El Duque]

Bob Simpson with 311

 

[El Duque]

I presume your just talking Australian high scores?

 

[El Duque]

Sorry forget that answer i just re-read your question

I won't delete my idiocy though....lol

 

[El Duque]

If we're taling Aussies Bradman beat his own record of 254 which he'd scored only a couple of weeks beforehand.
If we're talking anyone then thehighest individual score beforeBradmans 334 was by Andrew Sandham who had scored 325 only three months prior to Bradman.

It was kind of a trick question El Duque. I didn't think it'd be grabbed up so quickly. Well done!
It is indeed Sir. Don himself. Like you stated, he surpassed his own record score of the week or sobefore, in the Second Test Match at Lords (I think).
Sorry if the question wasn't clear.
Grab the reins mate

 

[El Duque]

Don't mean to be rude or nothing here Outlaw but the questions are supposed to be from the last 15 years or have I missed something as I hadn't checked this thread for a while?
If they have changed the timespancan someone let me know before I ask my next question please.

 

[El Duque]

This has probably been asked already but I couldn't be bothered checking.

Who is the only male cricketer to have scored a test century against all 9 test criket playing countries?

 

[Willow]

David Boon?

 

[El Duque]

Wasn't Boonie.

 

[Willow]

Steve Waugh

 

[El Duque]

Nope, Steve Waugh has scored centuries against 8 of the 9.

AB wouldnt have played against Bangladesh, so ill say Ricky Ponting??

 

[Willow]

Brian Lara

 

[El Duque]

No and No.

This record is very new.

 

[El Duque]

Hazy, Australia hasn't played Bangladesh in a test.

 

[imported_Hazy]

Langer or Hayden

 

[imported_Hazy]

El duque - then your question is flawed. Bangladesh is a test playing country (isnt it?????)

 

[El Duque]

Yes it is a test playing country but my question is not flawed.

 

[imported_Hazy]

I apologise - I thought the question asked which Australian.

Beer Goggles are my only excuse.
